It's a bit unfair to compare Cuphead to almost any other of the brutally tough platformers I've grown to love recently, as it lacks the filler. It gets straight to the good stuff and gives us an almost 'greatest hits' of boss fights. And if they don't get better and...
Without a doubt the biggest question mark above Resident Evil 5, both historically and today, is whether the co-op partner inclusion was worth it. If you’re playing by yourself, definitely not. But If you’ve got someone to play it through with, you’ve got one of the most well-crafted co-op experiences...
I wanted to like FlatOut 4. I had such fond memories of the first game, the sequel and even after the misstep that was FlatOut 3. I was hoping the fourth entry would be a return to the ridiculous destruction racing I enjoyed both alone and with friends earlier in the...
I found the climbing mechanics alright to begin with, but a side-effect of the “explore at your own pace” feature means you could stumble across the buildings in any order, meaning it does not get any more challenging. Collecting items on the way up depends largely on guessing the right...
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp leverages its already strong foundation with some very nice quality of life improvements to offer an almost definitive version of a Game Boy Advance classic. However, limited multiplayer options and uneven difficulty modes stop it from being the best that if could be.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is an incredible feat when you look behind at all the issues it currently has. It’s ambitious and quite possibly a leap in terms of simulations but your experience will often differ a lot depending on how lucky you are with the bugs and cloud streaming...
Arms
It’s a rarity these days that you come across a game which feels like nothing you’ve ever played before, but ARMS is exactly that. It’s fresh, vibrant and genuinely a lot of fun to play. It’s a fighting game with depth, which even non-fighting enthusiasts can get into. I have...
Just Cause is undoubtedly a fun series with a devoted following. When you embrace the chaos there can be a lot of fun to be had, but it's when you look deeper at the nuts and bolts it isn't a bustling sandbox you find. It's more of a litter tray,...
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has clearly had a lot of love and effort put into it, but it’s unapologetically appealing to a very specific niche. The authenticity and realism is like no other, and that niche is bound to be pulled into its world for hours on end. Unfortunately, this dedication...
Figment 2: Creed Valley feels like Bastion met Psychonauts. It’s an adorable action game set within the four walls of a troubled mind, delivering a colourful albeit shallow journey to enlightenment.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla blends old and new to create a unique experience and one of the best Assassin's Creed experiences yet. It combines series-best combat, a compelling story, and mesmerising locales to dually offer a definitive Viking and assassin experience.
Either way releasing this game for $45 at some retailers is a bargain and shouldn’t be missed.
